One Piece: Oda Has Already Set Up A Major Death In Elbaf
There are many characters with death flags on their heads in the final saga of One Piece.
Last week's One Piece chapter set up big battles and this week, fans should most definitely see clashes erupt in the Sun World of the Land of Giants. With Nico Robin enraged and Scopper Gaban setting out in full force, fans know that these two will unleash hell on the Holy Knights soon enough.
One Piece Chapter 1148 Will Show Scopper Gaban's Fury Vs Holy Knights
- Gaban Will Try To Save Colon
- Robin Won't Let The Libraries Be Burned
Oda has already set up the protagonists of the battle vs the Holy Knights, and One Piece chapter 1148 will definitely see them take the stage. In the previous chapter, it was announced that Colon had been captured as the 10th child in Elbaf, and this set Gaban into motion. At the same time, Sommers demanded that Elbaf burn down their schools and libraries, which host centuries of history and secrets of the world. Naturally, this angered Robin, who then set out to confront the Holy Knights, despite knowing that they're immortal.

Undoubtedly, One Piece 1148 will focus on Gaban and Robin, and fans will most definitely see more of the former. This is because Gaban is the stronger of the two and also the more experienced one. He will have to explain the weakness of Holy Knights, and at the same time, rescue his son.
Scopper Gaban is a legendary pirate, and he will most definitely unleash his Conqueror's Haki soon enough. When he does unleash this power, G aban will shock the Holy Knights and deal damage to them. So far, Gaban has been very easygoing, but he will show a different face to the ones who harmed his son.

Nico Robin Could Finally Get Haki
Fans know that Scopper Gaban is going to be pivotal in One Piece chapter 1148, and that's not just because Gaban will fight the Holy Knights. It is also possible that Scopper Gaban will teach others how to fight the Holy Knights. If the key to beating the Holy Knights lies in Soul Damage using Hkai, then Gaban will have to teach others how to tap into Haki. Nico Robin, who is in the battle with Gaban and will most likely fight in One Piece 1148, is the likeliest candidate for awakening Haki, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see that happen.

Together, Robin and Gaban will steal the show in One Piece chapter 1148, and it will eventually set the stage for the climax of the battles against the Government's leaders. Fans might also get to see glimpses of Luffy and Loki in the chapter, especially if Oda wants to tackle the flashback with Rocks first.
